Frequently Asked Questions
ARV stands for After Repair Value, which is the estimated market value of a property after renovations are completed. It helps investors determine the maximum purchase price and potential profit.
ARV is calculated by taking the comparable sold price of similar properties, adjusting for differences (like condition or size), and subtracting the renovation costs. Our calculator uses: ARV = Comparable Price × (1 + Adjustment%) - Renovation Cost.
A common rule is the 70% rule: investors should pay no more than 70% of the ARV minus repair costs. For example, if ARV is $200,000 and repairs are $30,000, the maximum purchase price would be $110,000.
